A Hello from Central CA
 

Hey there everyone. I'm just a 20 year old from Fresno Ca. Besides for me being new to this site, I am also new to trucks completely. I've owned 6 cars, and now i have my first truck. So i will probably be looking for some help, with most likely stupid questions haha. But anyways, my new love is a 68 GMC Longbed, my step dad's grandfather was the original owner and the truck has ~75k Original miles. So that's the info on my project.

By the way, my first n00b question: What's the cheapest way to lower one of these babies? I'm used to Coilovers and such, and know roughly nothing about truck suspension.

Hey welcome to the best boards around from MT. I am sure someone will chime in shortly about lowering it I know you got a few options there. I have been a 4x4 guy since I was a kidd. Got any pics of the new toy?

Not at the moment =/ I should be able to snap a few pics soon. However it's just a bone stock 68 white longbed. Has some surface rust, shouldn't be too much of a problem. And i've taken the side trim off. :five:

Welcome to the board.
There's a lot of good folks from the board down in the Fresno area.

I can't help with the lowering question, unfortunately.

You may want to pose the question in the suspension section. Lotsa knowledgeable people there; well lotsa knowledgeable people everywhere here.
And the prevailing attitude is "the stupid question is the 1 that doesn't get asked."

Yup...Your are correct my friend. I'm a Fresnan for sure. Maybe some one will start a post/show or something for the Cen Cal types to get together.
